Subject: [RFC v3 0/4] move PG_slab flag to page_type

RFC v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20221106140355.294845-1-42.hyeyoo@gmail.com/

This patch series moves PG_slab page flag to page_type,
freeing one bit in page->flags and introduces %pGt format
that prints human-readable page_type like %pGp for printing page flags.

See changelog of patch 2 for more implementation details.

Thanks everyone that gave valuable comments.

v2 -> v3:
- dropped show_page_types() in a thought that it is not interesting
  to track refcount of non-usermapped pages.
- added patch 1 that cleans up MF_MSG_SLAB in hwpoison
- split implementation and application of %pGt to separate patches.
- instead of printing "no page_type for ..." in %pGt, just print 
  '0x<value>()' for a page that does not use page_type field.

Hyeonggon Yoo (4):
  mm/hwpoison: remove MF_MSG_SLAB from action_page_types
  mm: move PG_slab flag to page_type
  mm, printk: introduce new format %pGt for page_type
  mm/debug: use %pGt to print page_type in dump_page()
